Former McDonald's corporate chef Mike Haracz has made a name for himself on TikTok, where he regularly divulges hacks and secrets such as how to replicate the chain's famous French fries or make McMuffins at home. And in his latest video, Haracz dished—no pun intended—on some of the international menu items that most Americans will never get a chance to try.
The three items Haracz named are currently being unveiled at the 2024 McDonald’s Worldwide Convention in Barcelona, Spain, which runs from April 8 through April 11.
In the third spot, Haracz says, are potato wedges, which can only be sampled at the McDonald's restaurant at the corporate headquarters, because "anything that competes with French fries, they’re not going to do because why lose that money."
However, he notes that there's no excuse for the next menu item, a Biscoff McFlurry with caramel, made with a relatively popular type of cookie. "This would be easy to make in the U.S. system," he says.

"But number one," Haracz continues, "which should be on menus, 'cause I bet it's probably the best version of a thing, spicy black pepper garlic McNuggets."
"Why are these not everywhere?" he asks, incredulously. "I don't know, they never listened to me while I was there, they're not gonna listen to me now. But this is an item that I think should be all over the place because lots of people would like to give it a try."
According to the New York Post, the Spicy Chicken McNuggets with Black Pepper Garlic can currently only be found at McDonald's locations in Japan. But given the frenzy for the chain's Szechuan dipping sauce several years back—though, that was fueled partially by the Adult Swim series Rick and Morty—perhaps it's an indication that American palates are increasingly ready for Eastern flavors.
But sadly, it sounds as though we'll never find out.
